Hps or heat-sink ability could depend on hulls in an array. Some systems - like hull plates - could work without master. Select one and and assign an equal block to make them a group without master and do some magic on the result...
Put weapons offline for sqrt(number)*seconds after one block got destroyed or the stats changed sqrt(number-stat points)*seconds.
You won't make a single big gun for close-combat / brute-force ships
Weapon-CPU table:
Base-Value | Potential (everything assigned to it) |...
I just feel like it would be near impossible to find a your own base if you had to search a 25X25X25 km cube for it. Maybe there can be sub sectors or something that are the saze of a planet. Also, having multiple planets in one sector would cause many problems when trying to load in a base...
It would make use of much smaller ships, which is good for small-fighter players.
Each AI module added to some array could allow more complex functions - eg: you need x modules for ability y or ability-group/role z. That would allow to optimize it for performance.
Probes only update your local...
A station is a big ship with no thrusters or thrusters offline then?
An asteroid is a ship without dampening?
A planet is a big ship/station without thrusters (initially) and natural gravity?
But: What if you remove all but 1 block from a planet, build your ship around it and laugh at the...
What would you do with peacefull 500\'000 mass wales?
You would loot them.
And then all wales died, players all have 5-million mass ships and the space would be emty again.
But we could have an AI faction (like trader\'s guild) which use animal-inspired ships. It just needs a big penalty...
How would a symetrical ship be limited to fly only forward at max speed?
You don\'t need thrusters for speed, only for accelleration/decelleration. And break/strafe is sometimes more important above 3:2 thrust:mass ratio (or 1:2 if the server\'s speed and dampening are default).
I don\'t know...
The AIs will never see the enemy signal as their master. Terrabyte storage devices may provide huge one-time-key tables.
But you could overcharge or confuse the antena-controller with your own signal.
If you rotate your weapons computer then the weapons will fire in whatever direction you rotated it in.
In sunworld, some newbe complained about his weapons shooting in the wrong direction. If I would have known this earlier - or he.
It should be in the weapon cpu description.
1 person can fire weapons assigned to 1 cpu simultanously.
If you have 2 peoples, 1 can fire power absorbtion beams, while the other crew man fires the weapons.
A 1mille poewr generator can be 23^3 (according to forum). You could put 12167 blocks in this area, that much power gens would...
This would give plexdoors armor without adding another block. Actually you could decorate the inside too
But: that can be annoying when open 1 plexdoor and all hull parts around (3x3 field) open too.
It could work, if a plex door opens only hull blocks in a right angle to 2 other plex doors...
A true nerf to unhulled ships would either come in the form of some sort of oxygen system or a shield nerf that reduces the effectiveness of the shield on unarmored blocks.
Oxygen would nerf one-block ships a lot, too.
The block-armour for shield alone would force you to make either hull or...
I did made plex doors look like water (force field) on local.
You could try to make more different parallel with custom blocks and ask for make them default.

That ship would flunk that test and while I admit it isn\'t realistic it\'s pretty awesome.
Even if a ship has basic hull layers each 5/7 blocks vertically, power, weapons or shield gens would only be at max 2/3 layers apart. And since big ships have less turn and evasion...
I wouldn\'t mind if some damage from mines would go through shields - they are shoot-able and either only hit the front or may crash into lose blocks (maybe water or lamps if you care about visuals) around your ship.
Although cloaked ships with explosives may abuse it.
